Former Raiders safety Michael Huff grew up near Dallas, and was a star at the University of Texas.

But he’s not going to wait around all day for the Cowboys to balance their checkbook for a chance to return home. The Cowboys have around $100,000 in cap room, preventing them from doing deals right now.

Huff said he had visits set up with the Ravens later this week, and another with the Packers. So while he might want to stay close to home, the ability to play for someone who can, you know, sign him now.

The Cowboys are running free agents around with only 100k in cap space, that’s hilarious! That sounds like Jerrah. How is the Romo extension going? You may want to create some room before you plan your next move Jerrah, but it doesn’t seem like much planning is done down there. He should fire his incompetent GM!

1oo,ooo dollars should be enough to sign a guy with Huff’s talent and still have 90,000 left.Whats the problem?

I’m not sure if you knew this or not, cause it certainly seems like you didn’t… but Jerry Jones IS the GM for the Cowboys.

And clearly Romo and Anthony Spencer extensions are making good progress or else Justin Durant wouldn’t have already agreed to a 2-year deal with the Cowboys.

More importantly, as a Cowboys fan, I don’t even want Michael Huff. He’s about to be on the wrong side of 30. The Cowboys are getting old, and getting old fast. They need to either let Matt Johnson/Barry Church grow, and draft a safety.

Or pick up some young talent or at least below 30 talent in the free agency once the extensions are done.

For you ignorant fans who talk without thinking. On the last day to get under salary cap Cowboys were 6.8 million OVER and by the end of the day managed to get 100-200k UNDER. Mind you league penalized us millions of dollars for the uncapped year.

This is why they’re working out guys available later in free agency. There’s a good chance they’ll still be available by the time contracts are redone. Plenty of good safety prospects in the draft other than Vaccaro. I’d rather see an OG or OT in the first round…

Let GB sign him. He will need help all day long to cover the WR’s in this division which will open up plays for other players.

Megatron, Jennings, Rudolph, Marshall, Jeffrey, and whoever those teams add between now and the start of the season in the draft and free agency.
